Regardless of when it happens, it’s a good excuse to head outside to your lawn and make some good old snow angels to spend some quality time with family and make memories to last a lifetime. Aside from snow angels, there are so many fun ways to have fun in the snow (or even use them in the sand at the beach) with the help of some genius snow toys for kids.
